This is a eye catching super easy card to create. It starts with the layout which was provided by the uber talented Beth Beard for this week’s Pals Paper Arts Challenge. This layout is a go-to layout and I encourage you to Pin-it to refer to regularly.

PPA-318-Sep15

Creating the WOW factor is easy with the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper. I remember turning the page to the Floral Boutique Suite in the annual catalog and being blown away by the crisp dramatic look of every element in this suite. This DSP is so versatile as it has floral patterns as well as small prints that can be used for masculine cards.

The Flourish Thinlits are key to adding texture and a festive flair to this birthday greeting. I used two of the flowers and layered them using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A Night of Navy (Regals Collection) Enamel Shape is the exclamation point to my flower and pulls everything together.

The font of the Stylized Birthday stamp makes any card fun and sassy. This single stamp only comes in wood. I don’t mount the stamp on the wood block. I place the clear label onto the stamp and then add a thin layer of Multipurpose glue to make it sticky to adhere to my clear block.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please hop over to the Pals Paper Arts Challenge and see what the design team members created for this sketch challenge. We would love to see your creativity too. You don’t need a blog to play. Post your card on Pinterest and link it up!
